I enjoyed them allowing both teams to play. While I saw a couple of questionable late hits out of bounds on both teams I applaude the refs for letting them play and not calling questionable penalties that could have been game changing in other games. It was a very clean game played by both teams however, and the honey booger still got his due. I think the SEC refs could learn a lesson or two from these guys.
What did you think about the referees in the BCSNCG?

Very well called game and they did let them play. I completely agree.

I saw one hit out of bounds by each team in which the defensive player had pulled up but still made contact just out of bounds. It would have been a stretch for the refs to call penalties on these particular plays and I'm glad they did not. Some fans would have liked to see the call in the heat of the moment but surely realized they were not flagrant nor intentional.
I agree - the refs did a good job of letting the teams play.
There were some late hits out of bounds that they didn't call, but I think there were some of those on both sides. I distinctly remember Smelley being hit late out of bounds, but there was a play involving Robert Lester on the defensive side of the ball where he could have been flagged for a late hit.
The Honey Booger was playing dirty, as was a few of their OL who were pushing our guys late and putting their hands in their faces.....
But, the final score was 21-0. Good 'nuf for me. RTR

I also saw the intentional knee to the crotch by an LSU player on the same play as when CJ Moseley was injured, but it was not serious and was not called and it affected the games outcome in no way.
I thought the officiating was great. The refs let the teams play football and didn't effect the outcome.
The refs likely were enjoying the game to much to throw flags. They got to see real defenses for the first time all year.:smile:
I've been waiting for this thread, the refs did let the kids play. I remember an early play where a lsu player hit our guy almost out of bounds, could of been called but wasn't. I liked that. I think the reputation of the SEC let the refs let the kids play. They were thinking, this is the way they do it down here.
I couldn't begin to count the times our good SEC officials have made questionable calls that were game changers or calls that were questionable so they could be reviewed and then not enough evidence to overturn the call. I don't mean this thread to be a flame on our SEC refs but they could take a lesson from this game.
the only one i think they should have called was the late hit on kenny bell (?) #7 when he had his long gain on the screen pass. it looked a lot like a horse collar and he definitely was still yanking on him as he was going out. i think they should have at least warned #60. i saw several hits/push downs that happened after the players had let up, didn't hear if the whistle had blown or not, but he was cutting it close.
Going into the game, I was worried - expected a lot of "soft" calls on SEC hits. I was wrong and tip my cap. I wish/hope that SEC refs will learn something from this game.
